Christmas x3

Well guess who's sick now? Yup, me. Of course. I am SO DONE with this winter. Sorry I didn't get to uploading the pictures sooner. It's been busy. I ended up getting to stay home on Christmas and today (yay for healthy kids!) so that's been nice! I didn't get sick until yesterday afternoon, so the holiday was exhausting, but fun. I'm ready to move on though.
The family picture attempts. I thought this first one hilarious. This one would be pretty good if I didn't look like such an idiot. Tuesday we had everyone over for Lana's birthday. It wasn't anything big, but here are a few pics of the kids.This pic is a random one of G- NO I didn't put him on the table. He climbed up on M's desk and then figured out a way to get on top of the table. Doesn't he look innocent about it?Christmas eve we had B's parents and my mom over and the kids opened all their presents since I was supposed to work. It ended up working out well since we still had 2 more days ahead of us. M definitely has it figured out and opened several other people's presents also. G really didn't care at all, of course. It was also the worst day of his sickness, so he was pretty miserable. We went to church which was pretty miserable and then came back here to play and eat chili. It was a good night.
M helped B put together G's new zebra toy.
The finished product. G got to check it out the next morning.Christmas day we got up and went to B's parents' house for breakfast. I will admit that when we all got up and both kids were screaming that I questioned why it was that I wanted to stay home from work... Then we headed to STJ to see my side of the family. Max and Mira are about 3 weeks apart and it was fun to see them interact. They are vastly different! It was good to see my family! We left there and headed back to David and Lana's for a relaxing evening. We watched Christmas Vacation and hung out. M went to my mom's to spend the night. G was feeling so much better by evening and was in rare form. He started waving and saying "Haaah!!" (Hi). I think we can maybe count it as his first word.

Friday was Christmas at B's parents since it was our year and Grant and Casey's year to be at the other side on Christmas day. We got over there about noon and ate at about 1. Mira actually took about a 2 hour nap and was great all day! We spread the presents out over several sessions. The kids really enjoy playing in the unfinished basement over there. M and Reese both got scooters!!

I had a really great Christmas. I got everything I wanted!!! We got yearly passes to the zoo and to Worlds of Fun from my family which will make for a great spring, summer and fall! I got a necklace with the kids' names, birthdates, and birthstones on it and an NINTENDO DS! WOOHOO!!! I also got some new clothes which fit great. I haven't been so excited about my gifts for years!

Well, it's really early-the rain woke me up. I think my coughing fits have calmed for now so I'm going to go back to bed now. I'll add more pictures later.
